Nowadays we feel that sexual ethics and morality in our society have changed a lot with the weakening of the church compared to the previous period. However, Analytical Psychologist C. G. Jung suggested that there is close relationship between sexuality and spirituality. Because the human sexuality contains not only the biological desire to combine with the opposite sex but also the desire to integrate the various pairs of opposite which compose human psyche. He proposed as an evidence that when one dreams having sex or incest it does not only mean to satisfy his/her sexual desire but to integrate various psychological factors especially the contrasexual figure(anima/animus) and to be born again through that sexual activity.

Anima/animus is a transsexual element in human unconscious which relates human being to other sex and mediates the unconscious contents: while the anima acts as a feeling and relation function for men, the animus acts as an intellectual and discrimination function for women. If anima/animus is well developed, one can live well as a mature person with the developed personality. But if not, one can’t fit in well to his/her environment, especially in the relationship with the opposite sex, as one has many problems with the opposite sex.

C. G. Jung thought that the mentality of human being has developed much from primitive times to the present day. He thought also religious symbol contributes much in that process, because it canalize the psychic energy which makes one to go to sexual instinct to spiritual objects. So human being was able to achieve the civilization unlike other animals. We can find that with Saint Francis of Assisi, Thomas Merton and many other christian mystics. For example the symbol, Lady Poverty was able to integrate the secular desire and holy desire for Saint Francis of Assisi. As it made him take her for his wife soothing his desire to live secular life but also made him persue poverty as it was not ordinary poverty but that of Jesus of Nazareth. Like such Lady Poverty was a good symbol to integrate the opposite desires which, otherwise will make many conflicts for him.

Nowadays there are many sexual problems in our society with the weakening of the church. We see many contemporaries can't integrate animal instinct and the instinct toward spirituality. Also we see many criminals who haven't control their drives and aggression. It's huge problem in our society. So we should find the religious symbol which can integrate the opposite factors in human psyche.
